Raise Your Weapon
deadmau5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Launch your assault now, take it easy
Raise your weapon, raise your weapon,
One word and it's over
Rippin' through like a missile,
Rippin' through my heart,
Rob me of this love
Raise your weapon, raise your weapon,
And it's over
Love your ego, you won't feel a thing
Always number one,
The pen with a bent wrist crooked king
Sign away our peace, for your war
One word and it's over
Dropping your bombs now, on all we've built
How does it feel now to watch it burn, burn, burn?
Raise your weapons, raise your weapons,
And it's over
Rippin' through like a missile,
Rippin' through my heart,
Rob me of this love
Raise your weapon, raise your weapon,
And it's over
How does it feel now to watch it burn (burn)?
Rippin' my heart was so easy, so easy
Launch your assault now, take it easy
Raise your weapon, raise your weapon,
One word and it's over
Rippin' through like a missile,
Rippin' through my heart,
Rob me of this love
Raise your weapon, raise your weapon,
And it's over
Love your ego, you won't feel a thing
Always number one,
The pen with a bent wrist crooked king
Sign away our peace, for your war
One word and it's over
Dropping your bombs now, on all we've built
How does it feel now
To watch it burn, burn, burn?
Raise your weapons, raise your weapons,
And it's over
The lyrics of "Raise Your Weapon" by deadmau5 consist of a series of metaphors depicting a lover being attacked by their partner's ego and their subsequent destruction of everything the couple has built. The opening lines "Rippin' my heart was so easy, so easy/Launch your assault now, take it easy" set the tone for the rest of the song. It is easy for the partner to hurt the lover, and they can attack at any time. The lover is then instructed to "raise (their) weapon" because their relationship is a battlefield, and it only takes "one word" for one party to destroy it completely.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Rippin' through like a missile, Rippin' through my heart, Rob me of this love," suggesting that the partner's words and actions are causing immense emotional damage to the lover. The line "Love your ego, you won't feel a thing" implies that the partner is indifferent to the pain they are causing and is solely concerned with their own needs. The line "Sign away our peace, for your war" further emphasizes the idea that the partner's ego is causing the destruction of the relationship.
The final line, "How does it feel now to watch it burn, burn, burn?" is directed at the partner and suggests that they are now witnessing the consequences of their actions. The song ends with a final call to "raise your weapons" indicating that this battle is not yet over.
